CM-SA

For quantitative evaluation & analysis of skin color and pigmentation

NEW

Simultaneous Measurement of Skin Color and Melanin Index

Used in combination with a Konica Minolta spectrophotometer, the CM-SA enables highly accurate measurement of skin color simultaneously with a numerical display of the Melanin Index, Hb (Hemoglobin) Index, and Hb SO2 (Hemoglobin oxygen saturation) Index (%).

Skin data displayMelanin Index
Hb Index [Total hemoglobin (oxidized + reduced) index]
Hb SO2 Index (%) [Hemoglobin oxygen saturation index (%)]
Colorimetric value displayL*, a*, b*, Munsell value (Hue, Value, Chroma)*1
Graph displayHue–Value Graph, Hb Index–Melanin Index Graph
Data handlingSaving/reading data in CM-SA original format
Saving data in text (CSV) format
[Melanin Index, Hb Index, Hb SO2 Index (%), L*, a*, b*, Munsell value (Hue, Value, Chroma), Spectral reflectance (400-700 nm)*2]

*1 Munsell data are calculated for 2° observer and Standard Illuminant C.
*2 The spectral reflectance data that are output are the reflectance obtained in SCI (specular component included) mode.
